Rediscovered Lucas-Commissioned Short "Black Angel" Released On YouTube

Posted by timothy on from the low-budget-high-value dept.

eldavojohn writes: Youtube now offers Black Angel, a short film shown in UK theaters before ESB. What was once thought lost is now found; enjoy. This may be the best half-hour you spend today, even if you must "set your clocks back 34 years," as writer and director Roger Christian advises. (Christian is also known for directing 2000's Battlefield Earth .)

    What? I've heard this repeated many times.

    The movie was awful. But it was _much better_ than the book.

    The only reason I finished the book is I was very stubborn back then. Like watching a slow motion car wreck, you think 'this has to get better'. Not unlike the 'Red/Green Mars' series. They only get worse.

    zardoz is great and a critically acclaimed success.

    and it has some deep things to say about quite a few things, like punishments, ai, immortality and what have you..
